It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you want to
implement a simple application using sockets you can try
so setup a server on your desktop and execute the following commands
from the Android device
Socket s = new Socket("<IP address of server", <port
on desktop>);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream(),
true);
out.println("Hello World");
The server should listen on the port you have specified in your
Android app. If you don't want to implement any server you also can
download netcat. It is a very powerful TCP/IP testing tool.
